✺ ▬▬ He did see, and frankly it was not an uncommon thing. Pandas are relatively uncommon and… different in the Valley of Peace, really. However, that was usually by goats or rabbits or— animals!
So this was a bit new, and though curiosity kicked him down stairs most of the time, he liked learning about new beings. ❝ Hey? ❞
░ ♥▐ — Awh, just look at how fluffy he is! Of course, what kind of animal isn’t fluffy? Well, there’s those hairless cat things, but that’s totally not the point. Abbey’s never actually seen a panda before. As many monsters and mythical creatures she’s friends with, even has a pet wooly mam- moth, a panda was definitely last on the list.
Holy cow, he talks. Wait, he’s a he, right? Of course he’s a he! He sounds like a he. Say something, Abbey. Don’t just stand there like a frozen yak.
❝Hello giant panda thing.❞ Really, Abbey? Giant panda thing?
░ ♥▐ — Oh, geez. Hopefully he didn’t see. He’s so fluffy! It was so hard not to stare. Just turn around and act like you saw a bird or something, Abbey.
”..Ice Queen….?” He paused briefly to think if he did but as always came out at blank. “Hmm, I don’t actually sorry luv. Would it have been helpful if I did know her though? Like would it benefit you in sime way?”
░ ♥▐ — ❝Don’t think so. She is just… cold. Like Abbey.❞ Of course the name of the lady had slipped Abbey’s mind. Just like the fact that the stranger probably doesn’t even know who Abbey is. Gah, Abbey. Tell the kid your name. ❝I am Abbey, by the way.❞
Gilda’s eyes looked up and into Abbey’s. She cast a small smile. “Oh no no…yes I’m fine…I just…. umm yeah.” Her gold hoops moved as her ear twitched.
░ ♥▐ — ❝Is okay. I don’t bite. That would be unpleasant.❞ Abbey watched the hoops swing at the movement of her ears. They were huge, how do they not get stuck on the fabric of her shoulders? No matter, they were surely hypnotizing.
Lilly sat with a growl, staring up at the woman. She would go up for a pet to try to end the argument, but with her skin tone, she looked rather…chilly.
░ ♥▐ — With a light huff and a shrug of her shoulders, Abbey gave it and bent down to pat the smaller animal lightly on the head. Ugh, why do animals have to be so cute? It’s like they can control the world or something with such power.
